If they attack Iran it bowls over global oil production in such a fashion as to cover their tracks an it permits for the neocon putsch to be firmed ahead of the installation of a Democratic Congress next January, one which will promptly hand them over to The Hague for war crimes trials in order to restore some of our national honor.
And people here are so blinded by the Meat Stick Media they'll lap it up. Tell me again why I get out of bed and try to do something about this every day?
"one which will promptly hand them over to The Hague for war crimes trials "
Love your sense of humor, SCT!
If 'the oil exporting countries' were to say 'Turn 'em over or no more oil' - the speed at which a handover would happen would challenge light as being one of the fastest things in the universe.
That wasn't snark, it was a heartfelt hope. We're a pariah nation that no one is willing to step up to ... yet. Maybe we're the first and biggest cat to inhabit the Monbiot Feline Combat Containment System?
And I'm not snark'n either. People are handed over to 'international justice' is at ends of wars or an attempt quiet the others who set up the court. I can not think of a government that is still a continuance of the old government who hands over high placed members for a trial. A total lack of imported oil *MIGHT* be enough - my faith in my fellow man to toss others under the bus for their own benefit is the only way I see your hope happening.
If one wants to have heartfelt hope (or perhaps chaos) - imagine a 'national reconsilation commission' like South Africa for whatever your pet issue is. Banking, corruption - whatever. Fill out your from by April 16th, confess your crime and name your co-conspirators. Publish 'em to the Internet - as the light of the public would be a great disinfectant. If your co-conspirators opted to NOT fill out the forms, they are subject to whatever the punishment might be.
Think of the make work program for government paper pushers!
SCT, thanks. More people should hope, but first and foremost act to bring about change. Do call your congressman(calls from my side of the Atlantic will not work).
